Lin Guang opened portals across the battlefields and assembled the Allied Shinobi Forces to confront Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and the Ten-Tails. As the battle began, the Ten-Tails countered the allied attack, and Lin Guang prepared a Sun Breathing technique against its blast.
Lin Guang and the Allied Shinobi Forces faced the Ten-Tails, Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha as Lin Guang’s allies rallied for battle. The chapter ended with the villages combining their techniques to obscure and attack the Ten-Tails.
The Allied Shinobi Forces and Lin Guang’s companions attacked Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, and the Ten-Tails while the beast was restrained in a pit. The Ten-Tails broke free after suffering multiple wounds, and Kanae Kocho appeared behind Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha to launch a surprise attack.
Kanae Kocho injured Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha by severing their connections to the Ten-Tails and damaging their souls, but Lin Guang ordered her to return as the conflict continued. The Ten-Tails attacked headquarters, and Lin Guang blocked its Tailed Beast Bomb with a giant, empowered Susanoo.
Lin Guang used Super Susanoo to hold off the Ten-Tails while Konan joined him and the Five Kage formed a barrier around the battlefield. After hearing Shikaku Nara's plan, Lin Guang asked Mitsuri Kanroji to restrain the Ten-Tails with Wood Release.
Mitsuri Kanroji used Wood Release to restrain the Ten-Tails while Lin Guang separated Madara Uchiha from it and drew him away from the battle. Madara guessed that Lin Guang was an Ōtsutsuki seeking the God Tree, and Lin Guang waited for the next stage of events to unfold.
The First through Fourth Hokage arrived to help the Shinobi Allied Forces contain the Ten-Tails, while Hashirama Senju went to fight Madara Uchiha. After Sasuke Uchiha joined Naruto Uzumaki, Lin Guang told Uchiha Itachi that he wanted to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
Lin Guang recovered while Uchiha Itachi joined the battle, then used the system to open hundreds of wooden treasure chests and gained the King of the Elements ability. As he surveyed the battlefield, Lin Guang sensed a peculiar presence and realized the Sheep Talisman was involved.
Lin Guang met Hagoromo Otsutsuki and learned why the Sage had remained behind to help seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Lin Guang sought to seal Kaguya rather than fight her, and Hagoromo began passing on the knowledge and power he needed to use Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki granted Lin Guang the Rinnegan and knowledge of yin-yang power and Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei. After Obito Uchiha became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and unleashed the God Tree, Lin Guang evacuated most of the Shinobi Allied Forces and brought the recovered Isobu into the battle.
Lin Guang withdrew his allies after revealing that the Sage of Six Paths had foretold Madara Uchiha's defeat, then secretly returned to watch the battlefield. Obito Uchiha was stripped of the tailed beasts, but Black Zetsu used him to revive Madara Uchiha, who overwhelmed the allied forces as Lin Guang prepared to act.
Lin Guang confronted the newly empowered Madara Uchiha, then healed Yugito Nii and made his way to the Five Kage, where White Zetsu stood atop True Several Thousand Hands. Madara pursued Obito to reclaim his other Rinnegan, while Lin Guang faced White Zetsu as the chapter ended.
Lin Guang returned to the battle against Madara Uchiha, helped save Might Guy after his final Eight Gates attack, and watched Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha confront Madara. He then entered the Kamui Dimension to destroy Obito Uchiha’s Rinnegan, but Madara arrived and reclaimed it, leaving Lin Guang trapped with him.
Madara Uchiha recovered his second Rinnegan and confronted Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura, and Lin Guang. After Madara unleashed dozens of meteors and his Limbo doubles, Naruto and Sasuke fought back while Lin Guang joined the battle.
Madara Uchiha activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping nearly everyone in the world while Sasuke Uchiha protected Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura, and their companions. As Madara confronted the survivors, Black Zetsu betrayed him by piercing his heart.
Black Zetsu revealed that he had manipulated Madara Uchiha to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, then absorbed Madara and the chakra of the Infinite Tsukuyomi victims. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki returned, and Lin Guang approached her as she prepared to attack Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Lin Guang fought Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in her lava and ice dimensions, revealing his spatial powers, Rinnegan, and control over ice. After pinning Black Zetsu and taking control of part of Kaguya’s icy space, he asked her to explain why she had done everything.
Lin Guang pursued Kaguya Ōtsutsuki through her dimensions after Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha interrupted their conversation. In the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball Dimension, Kaguya accidentally revealed that she had four and a half dimensions like the world of ice and snow.
Lin Guang questioned Kaguya Ōtsutsuki about the Ōtsutsuki Clan and uncovered her reasons for stealing the God Tree’s power. The conversation left Kaguya wondering whether her actions had made her no different from the clan she feared.
Lin Guang spoke with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki about her past and her sons, and she reconsidered her actions. Kaguya left her dimension with Lin Guang and reunited with Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who asked whether she still intended to destroy humanity.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki explained her past to Hagoromo Otsutsuki and chose to trust humanity, then released the Infinite Tsukuyomi and began separating the tailed beasts and God Tree from herself. Lin Guang helped her through the extraction as the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path went berserk.
Lin Guang sealed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, saved Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and learned he had only thirty days left in the Naruto world. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha settled their conflict at the Valley of the End, while Lin Guang hid in Kirigakure and faced Mei Terumi’s question about his departure.
After the war, Lin Guang spent his final month in the shinobi world reconnecting with its people and agreeing to take Konan as his subordinate. As he prepared to leave, Mei Terumi revealed that she had stepped down as Mizukage and asked to go with him.
With three hours left before leaving the Naruto world, Lin Guang opened his World and Diamond Treasure Chests and gained powerful new abilities. He gave Mei Terumi the Heart of the Ocean and Six Paths-level chakra, then told her they were about to depart.
Lin Guang entered the Date A Live world as Itsuka Lin Guang, the adult older brother of Shido Itsuka and Kotori Itsuka, with his powers intact. He settled into family life with them while learning that Spacequakes still threatened Tengu City.
